Five Fictons

Curated by X-R-A-Y Magazine

X–R-A-Y Literary Magazine’s vision is to publish uncomfortable, entertaining, unforgettable prose that shines brighter than the skeleton in your body, prose that sees through the skin and reveals something deeper.

We work hard to give our readers the best authors on the planet and do our best to release a story a day. Follow our Twitter @xraylitmag to read a new piece daily.

These are some of the favorite stories we've published by writers who are featured on Neutral Spaces. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we have.

About Mixtapes

These mixtapes are a way for the Neutral Spaces community to read and share each others writing.

The idea is to go through the site and select 5 pieces from 5 authors.

For Neutral Spaces authors, these get collected and you are given a space to write about your mini-collection.

On the page, the curator and the 5 selected authors have their website linked, together with the 5 external links for the chosen work.

If you run a journal, I would love to spotlight your site with 5 pieces, you can use the introduction to let people know what you're trying to do with your site.

If you want to put together a mixtape, e-mail me.
